An intellectual property analysis: advances and commercialization of low-dimensional carbon materials in batteries

There is the growing demand for energy consumption in society due to the increasing application of emerging technologies. Therefore, the needs for the development of advanced energy storage technologies to cope with the rising energy demand are rising. Carbon materials play significant roles in energy storage technologies. In this review, the research progress and applications of low-dimensional carbon materials in batteries, including carbon quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, are summarized. The performance of these materials is compared against traditional lithium-ion batteries with graphite, which has limitations in its bandgap and reversible capacity. A mini-intellectual property analysis and the advances and commercialization of low-dimensional carbon materials in batteries were provided. The challenges and limitations associated with the use of these materials as electrode materials were discussed and a market overview of their commercialization was provided. Finally, future directions for research and development in this field were concluded. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of low-dimensional carbon materials as a promising research area for the development of advanced batteries to meet the growing demand for energy consumption.
